The lower chamber of the national assembly said it has rescinded its decisions on three women-related bills.
The house said the three bills include citizenship, indigenship, and 35% affirmative action for women.
According to the house, the bills will be re-considered in the next phase of voting on another set of bills for amendment in four weeks’ time.
“The bills failed to secure the mandatory two-thirds votes to pass during voting on the proposed amendments to the constitution.”
“The bills, by the leave of the speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila and the house, they were re-committed to the Committee of the Whole for consideration on Tuesday,” the house said.
It added, “They will be considered by the house in the next phase of voting on another set of bills for amendment in four weeks’ time.”
